Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the...

Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Polymer stabilized lipid bilayer discs...

Salivary films are (mostly) proteinaceous nm-thick films that form on any type of surface upon exposure to saliva. The role of the pellicle is manifold. Among its functions,...

Lubrication by saliva is a key factor in oral health and food consumption. It is know that salivary lubrication is mediated by the thin proteinaceous film i.e., the pellicle,...

Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and...

Mica is an exceptionally important mineral in surface science, which until now has been inaccessible by neutron reflection. Here we propose a novel attachment method unlocking...

Cell adhesion and proliferation at the surface of liquids such as oil droplets is a surprising phenomenon as it is typically accepted in the field of bioengineering that cells...

Spider silks are known to have outstanding mechanical properties yet there is still much unknown about how the initial structure, storage and transformation of the silk proteins...
